The order also instructs the RNC to explain by 5 p.m. Tuesday what Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence were talking about in recent comments when they said that Trump’s campaign was working closely with the RNC to make sure there is no fraud at the polls.

The Trump campaign’s penchant for running their mouths may have landed the RNC in hot water.

The RNC has been under a consent decree for 30 years for intimidating voters in the 1980s. It never expired.

The RNC appealed [District Court Judge Dickinson] Debevoise’s 2009 ruling [largely upholding his earlier ruling on voter intimidation] to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the decision. The judge, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, died last year at age 91. When the DNC moved to enforce the decree last week, the case was randomly reassigned to Vazquez, who was appointed by President Barack Obama.

Cue the ear-splitting wails of “Rigged!” from the Trump campaign.

(I’m guessing the only thing we’ll hear from the RNC will be the sound of weeping, even though the party has no one and nothing to blame but itself for its current predicament. Maybe the Rs will learn how to behave after another 30 years under this consent decree.)
